Peter the Persian has performed all over Los Angeles for over a decade at such comedy venues as the Ice House and the Laugh Factory, and is currently a Comedy Store “paid regular.” He's also hit the road, or rather, the airport, having been invited to entertain audiences around the country.

Peter hosted the comedy variety series “Zeus TV” and has become a favorite of the Levantine Cultural Center's satire/comedy series, Middle East Comic Relief, after which one enthusiast noted, “I attended John Cleese's performance the night before, titled 'Seven Ways to Skin an Ocelot', and I can tell you for sure that I laughed much more with Peter the Persian! Peter's act was a brilliant lesson in powerful observation and in studied body language.”

Indeed, Peter is an innovator when it comes to voices, character humor and accents. Born in Tehran (the Denver of the Middle East), Peter went to UCLA, where he earned a B.A. in political science with a concentration in international relations at UCLA, and graduated with a juris doctorate from the UCLA School of Law in 2002.
